Neutral hardening is a heat treatment process used to improve the hardness and wear resistance of metal workpieces. In this process, a metal workpiece is heated above a critical temperature and then rapidly cooled, usually by immersion in brine or oil. This rapid cooling process helps change the crystal structure of the metal, thereby increasing its hardness.

The term "Neutral" means that no gases or media are used in the process, which means that no atmosphere control agents, such as nitrogen or hydrogen, are added to affect the chemical composition of the metal surface. In contrast, other types of heat treatments, such as gas quenching or carburizing treatments, may introduce other elements during processing to change the chemical composition of the metal.

The global Neutral Hardening market size is projected to grow from US$ million in 2024 to US$ million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of % from 2024 to 2030.
